I am sure that many girls (like me) love buying shoes: flats, heels, boots. We will never stop buying, and there is always no ‘ENOUGH’ comes to our mind. So here’s the question, what do you do with those shoe boxes?

Throwing away? Since there is limited stroage space at home?

SincerelyShans has posted a pretty cool video on YouTube and sharing her way of upcycling the shoe boxes.

Mooncakes are traditional treats often given as gifts during the mid-autumn festival.

The Housing Authority set up more than 170 collection points for mooncake boxes at its headquarters at Fat Kwong Street, Kowloon; the HA Customer Service Centre in Lok Fu, Kowloon; public rental housing (PRH) estate offices; shopping centres and markets throughout the city.

The number of boxes collected by the campaign has doubled in a decade. In 2004, the programme collected 26,000 boxes, weighing a total of seven tonnes.
